Kojima makes an appearance in a game just as surreal as some of his own, Control . His likeness is not present, but Kojima voices the Japanese lines for Dr. Yoshimi Tokui, a researcher in the Bureau of Control's Oldest House. Kojima's Dr. Tokui narrates the player through a " guided imagery experience " with the help of a translator who, according to Polygon , is voiced by Kojima Productions' head of marketing, Aki Saito. The worthwhile and odd Control side quest gives players a lesson in love and environmentalism, all with a dash of grim humor about pige
Updated on June 1 _ , 2021, by Kim Dailey: Cyberpunk 2077 DLC has had a bit of a rocky release but has leveled out somewhat. We've revisited this post to refresh it and keep it up to date.

This is largely due to the Perks this tree offers, a good number of which are absolutely crucial for players trying to make the most out of crafting. So, let's take a look at which perks are needed and which are
So, it's no surprise that Night City has, in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, been voted as the worst place to live in all of America. Given the cyberpunk dystopia that has taken over the entire world, this proves that Night City is a special brand of terrible on its
This quirky Adrenaline exchange between the two brothers allows us to raised their power level. On the one hand, Roland becomes a better "engine" overall, not limited anymore by its adrenaline. On the other hand, Gellert benefits from a grace period where his ability is unlimi
Fixers in Cyberpunk 2077 are meant to be the middlemen between a client and a merc, with their loyalty being only towards eddies. However, there are some plotholes in Cyberpunk 2077 that involve fixers associated with specific gangs. For some reason, some fixers sabotage their own gangs by hiring V to do something that hurts them. Wakako Okada, the fixer for Westbrook, is known for being a part of the Tyger Claws gang via her five dead husbands, who were all high-ranking members of the Tyger Claws. However, nearly every gig given to V by Wakako involves meddling in Tyger Claws affa
This hasn't been confirmed in-game, but the sudden drop-off in population certainly supports this theory. Night City is full of such details, and players can learn about this tumultuous period in the series' history if they check out one of the many news broadcasts detailing out this st
Hideo Kojima makes perhaps his strangest appearance in his most recent work, Death Stranding . The entire game revels in its own weirdness, but a nightmarish sequence has a Kojima-shaped BT coming out of the floor to grab protagonist Sam Bridges' ankles. The sequence doesn't always trigger, but if players have Bridges sit in a private room for long enough, a pool of tar might appear around his bare feet. Similar to how Death Stranding 's BTs attack the player when traveling through their territory, the tar morphs itself into the likeness of Kojima before Bridges jolts awake out of the nightm
Kojima has a long history of making brief cameos in his own games, especially throughout the Metal Gear Solid series, but has more recently begun appearing in other studios' works as well. His cameos outside of Kojima Productions games tend to embrace the visionary game director's personality. Oshima in Cyberpunk is more or less a braindance analogue for real-life Kojima, and Dr. Tokui taking players on a " guided imagery experience " is rather similar to what Kojima does with video games. Hideo Kojima's reputation precedes him, but it is clear that he is highly regarded within the games industry, and his commitment to artistry within the medium has led to many video game appearanc
Perhaps Kojima's most notable and pointed appearance is when he portrayed an operative in need of a rescue in a side mission of Metal Gear Solid V : Ground Zeroes . He gets quite a bit of camera time, and even has several voice lines. The mission is capped off with in-game Kojima trading sunglasses for distinctly Kojima-esque eyeglasses before smirking directly into the camera and asking " What took you so long? " The entire sequence is rather surreal, but it's also quintessentially Kojima. He has a handful of other video game appearances, some in his own works, and others as cameos for different develop
Though Kojima can only be found once in Cyberpunk 2077 , there is another nod to him later in the game. During a side mission, protagonist V will infiltrate a Night City Police Department lab. In one of the rooms, a Death Stranding Bridge Baby pod can be fo
Renowned video game creator **Hideo Kojima ** has a level of name recognition not too common in game development. Most games are thought of as creations of the studio that worked on them, but more often than not, titles like Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding are distinctly products of Kojima - though certainly also products of his talented teams. He tends to hold a similar stature as a film director, which correlates to Kojima's ambition of creating movies at his studio, and also translates into a tendency to appear in his own works in cameo ro
